Hey Friends!
Recently I've encountered a situation...
- An administrator had enabled an in-place archive on a few mailboxes
- He wasn't aware of what archiving would do to his users' mailboxes - End of story :(
The procedure of getting all the items back to the main mailbox is a bit complicated, mostly because the procedure must involve explicit connection to the user's mailbox, exporting the archive mailbox to PST and re-importing it back to the main mailbox.
There are tools out there that may help perform the above actions if you are willing to pay :)
This is why I wrote a cool...

The script will look for the sourceAnchor of the user and display the results:
The script must be run from the AD Connect server that has the ActiveDirectory PowerShell module installed (the module can be installed from the Features - Remote Server Administration Tools menu in Server Manager)

Microsoft Cloud App Security has a broad variety of applications to choose from the catalog. It is most recommended for an IT person to be familiar with the rank of an application in order to plan and choose the correct policy to apply for it.

Nowadays, when many of our infrastructure services are in the cloud, one of the most important and security critical benefits must be the ability to monitor users and admins behavior.
Microsoft Azure and Office 365 offer a set of tools for that purpose alone in the Security & Compliance Admin Center.
When we open the Reports section, we'll find there an option to view all the reports. There will be 3 auditing reports including Office 365 Audit Log, Azure AD Reports and Exchange Audit Reports.
Office 365 Audit Log:
By clicking on this audit report you will be redirected (on the same admin page)...

as you are probably aware, according to TechNet, since SCCM Current Branch version 1602 was published, it is supported to upgrade the site server from Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 R2 by using in-place upgrade installation.

one component after another I was proudly...
